Join our community beach cleans and help keep Eastbourne’s coastline clean and beautiful. It’s fun, family-friendly, and open to everyone. Every piece of litter you collect protects wildlife and makes a real difference. Feel the buzz of taking action with others who care. Turn a morning by the sea into a force for good. Grab a bucket, bring your energy, and let’s make our beaches shine.
Adopting a beach gives you the chance to take real ownership of a stretch of Eastbourne’s coastline and protect it all year round. It creates a regular, meaningful connection with nature, builds pride in your local area, and helps safeguard wildlife from the impacts of plastic pollution. Whether you’re a family, business, school, or community group, adopting a beach is a powerful way to make a lasting, visible difference to our coastal environment.
Ditch single-use bottles and choose to refill your own instead. Our growing network of Refill Stations across Eastbourne makes it easy, convenient, and completely free to top up your water on the go. By refilling, you cut down plastic waste, save money, and protect our coastline from unnecessary pollution. Every refill is a small action that adds up to big change for our community and our environment. Look out for the Refill Station signs in cafés, shops, and community hubs.
Plastic Free Eastbourne is a community-led movement dedicated to eliminating single-use plastics and protecting our coastline for future generations. We work with individuals, businesses, schools, and local organisations across Eastbourne and the surrounding area to champion practical, everyday actions that reduce plastic waste and safeguard our natural environment.
Our volunteers, supporters, and donors are at the heart of everything we do. Their ideas, time, and generosity allow us to grow our projects, expand our network of Refill Stations, run community events, and inspire positive change across the town.
What began as a local initiative has grown into a resilient, hopeful movement – one that brings people together, fosters pride, and proves that collective action can reshape the future. We welcome anyone who wants to help Eastbourne become a cleaner, greener, plastic-free coastal community.
